Western NGOs – displacing China and Russia with the Central Asian instrument

Western NGOs - displacing China and Russia with the Central Asian instrument

For several years, the United States seeks to weaken the Chinese and Russian influence in the Central Asian country by all kinds of influence through international and non-governmental organizations (NGO). For the US, the Central Asian region still remains important in geopolitical terms, and economically, but most importantly in the strategic, using the political and economic leverage.

So, eg, at 2017 in the US Congress introduced a bill on foreign aid for the following year (Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act), comprising 2,5 billion. dollars for democracy projects in Central Asia. Besides, annually allocates money to improve the judiciary, development, freedom of the media and NGOs.

Important agents of democratic values ​​are the Soros Foundation, International Republican Institute, The National Democratic Institute, "Eurasia" fund, etc.. Interesting, that "Renaissance" International Foundation, which is funded by businessman George Soros funds, just played a significant role in the coup in Ukraine 2013 year. Therefore, that many programs, as the government implemented, and non-state donors are carried out under the pretext of democratization of society and continue to play a "vital" role in the political process of a country.

United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to maintain its activity has asked the Congress to 2019 year 16,8 billion. dollars, What's on 1,3 billion. dollars More, than was requested last year. Increased funding in CAR is due to the testimony of USAID Administrator Mark Green, who said before the Committee on Foreign Affairs, House of Representatives, that is increasing the negative impact of the Russian Federation and China in many regions, including in Central Asia.

At the last hearing on the CAR of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives, experts reported the situation in the region and to further the development towards an open society. Steve Swerdlow, Central Asia researcher of Human Rights Watch stressed, the United States should put pressure on the government of Uzbekistan, to fully unlock the Internet and expand the media accreditation, such as Radio Free Europe, as well as to restore funding for educational exchange and scholarship programs.

Besides, Director of the Eurasian National Endowment for Democracy, in his speech also focused attention on Uzbekistan and noted, that with the arrival of the new president of the country has become more actively engage with US.

The report referred to the situation with "friendly" Kazakhstan. It should be noted, that the Kazakh government severely restricts freedom of the press in the country. On the same problems Broadcasting Council of Governors (Broadcasting Board of Governors – BBG) facing in Tajikistan. However, it should be noted, that in recent times there is a growing dynamics of the relations between Kazakhstan and the United States, on political and security issues of strengthening cooperation, as well as trade and investment reached a new level.

The next country on the list is Kyrgyzstan. Despite, that the Kyrgyz Republic (KR) hardly mentioned in the reports of the US State Department and the Agency for International Development, in the Kyrgyz Republic also operates a significant number of programs, aimed at the development of democratic processes. So, eg, the provision of equal rights for women in the social and labor sphere is also a priority for US public diplomacy, since obtaining political rights give them the right to participate in elections to the bodies of state power. FROM 2011 , USAID is supporting the Forum of Women MPs, which includes 21 female MP of the Jogorku Kenesh of Kyrgyzstan. In this case, USAID is responsible for organizing training courses on public speaking, negotiation skills, working with the media and assistance to local communities through the National Democratic Institute for forum members. In this way, behind the screen of the struggle for women's right to review the possibility of the United States is directly affected by the current situation in the country.

Summarizing it should be noted, Western NGOs and their programs are able to completely change the political mood in a particular country. Therefore, in the future the United States will make every effort to consolidate its influence in the Central Asian states. This is evidenced by data on the financing of the democratic process, one of which is the National Endowment for Democracy highlights 80 thousands of dollars on freedom of information and 165 thousands of dollars to strengthen non-governmental organizations.

No exception and is a source of information, "Radio Liberty", who really is able to create a powerful opposition front in the Central Asian region. It is an international non-profit broadcaster, funded by the US Congress. As of October 2018 of the year, Broadcasting is conducted in 26 languages ​​on 23 Eastern Europe, Central Asia, Middle East. In Central Asia, Kazakh service function "Radio Azattyk", Tajikistan News Radio 'Free', English Radio Radio, Turkmen "Radio Azatlyk" and the Uzbek service of "Radio Ozodlik" According to the latest data for 2017-2018 years, the amount of funding the Central Asian service of Radio Liberty, allocated from the US budget has increased significantly, that speaks about the promotion of its national interests under the guise of fighting for democratic values ​​and the change of the political regime in the future republics.

One can only hope, that over time the activities of these NGOs will be suspended. In turn, the leadership of Kyrgyzstan it is necessary to act more actively and effectively to oppose the Western NGOs, to stability in the country did not go hawking, as it already happened in some post-Soviet countries.
